Hello,
I have a one-year-old Cocker Spaniel who has been raised in a kennel. Although she does not object at all about being kept in the kennel during the day, I would like her to have more accessibility to the house when we are gone during the day. We have tried to leave her out of her kennel for a few hours during the day, but when we return home she seems extremely anxious. Is 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. too long to keep her in her kennel three days a week? When I'm getting ready for work at 8:00, she is already in her kennel. I was hoping that one day she would not need the kennel and find a spot in the house she likes and can get up and move around during the day. She likes to sit in the family room and look out the window during the day when I'm home. I was hoping she would do this when I'm gone also, but it appears she is very anxious and actually likes her kennel.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Michelle
